Definitions
- the present invention relates to an arrangement for controlling the edge of pulp mass in a web former, the web former comprising a space formed by two wires or the like, into which space the pulp mass is fed, the wires being supported on chamber units, which each time include at least one chamber for receiving the water removed from the pulp mass, and in conjunction with the side edge of the said web former there being arranged pulp mass edge control means.
- the invention also relates to a method for controlling the edge of pulp mass, in which method the pulp mass is fed into a space formed by two wires, the wires or the like being supported on chamber units, which each time include at least one chamber for receiving the water removed from the pulp mass, and in conjunction with the side edge of the said web former there being arranged pulp mass edge control means.
- the Applicant's earlier Finnish patent application 19982539 discloses an apparatus for forming a pulp web, which resembles the present invention in basic principle.
- the apparatus comprises a headbox from which pulp mass is fed into a narrowing, wedge-like space formed by two wires, in which the dry matter content of the mass is increased by removing water from the mass in a controlled manner into a chamber for receiving it.
- compaction means At the end of the narrowing space are compaction means, by which the dry matter content of the mass is further increased.
- the invention according to the application 19982539 thus relates mainly to a method and apparatus for controlling the dry matter content of the mass during web forming.
- the aim of the present invention is to eliminate or substantially reduce the disadvantages of the prior art and further to provide an improved solution for controlling the edges of pulp mass in a web former.
- the arrangement according to the invention is characterised in that the side edge control means of the web former include an edge sealing part which extends, in the lateral direction of the web former, by a distance between the chamber units, that in the edge sealing part are formed channels, through which the pressurised injection water can be fed between the chamber units and the surfaces of the edge sealing part in such a way that it will prevent the pulp mass edge from passing and/or spreading in the lateral direction of the web former into the area of the side edge of the web former.
- the method relating to the invention is further characterised in that the passing and/or spreading of the pulp mass edge in the lateral direction of the web former into the area of the side edge of the web former is prevented by means of an edge sealing part comprised in the side edge control means of the edge sealing part, which edge sealing part extends, in the lateral direction of the web former, by a distance between the chamber units, and by feeding pressurised injection water between the chamber units and the surfaces of the edge sealing part through channels formed in the edge sealing part.
- Figure 1 shows a web former.
- Figure 2 shows a partial enlargement II of Figure 1.
- Figure 3A shows a cross-section along line III-III in Figure 2.
- Figure 3B shows a cross-section along line III-III in Figure 2, according to an alternative example.
- Figure 4 shows an axonometric view of an edge sealing part according to Figure 3B.
- Figure 1 shows a diagrammatic view of the web former 1 to which the arrangement according to the invention for controlling the edge of the pulp mass M is preferably applied.
- the operation and structure of the web former 1 are essentially previously known, for example, from the Applicant's earlier application 19982539 mentioned above, and thus they are described only briefly in the following.
- the apparatus comprises a headbox 2, from which pulp mass M is fed into a narrowing, wedge-like space 5 connected to it.
- the space 5 is formed between two endless wire loops, such as a top wire 3 and a bottom wire 4 approaching each other in the direction of travel J.
- a top wire 3 and a bottom wire 4 approaching each other in the direction of travel J.
- chamber units 6 and 7 In connection with the surfaces on the opposite side to the mass flow of the wires 3 and 4 are supported chamber units 6 and 7 in a suitable wedge-like position, into the water removal chambers 8 of which, and further through water removal channels provided with valves 22, the water in the pulp can be removed in a controlled manner for further treatment.
- Figure 3A shows a cross-section along line III-III in Figure 2 of the arrangement on the right edge of the web former 1. A corresponding arrangement may obviously be applied to the left edge of the web former 1.
- Figure 3A is shown a cross-section of a top wire 3 and a bottom wire 4, between which the pulp mass M moves away from the viewer (direction of travel J).
- To the surfaces of the wires 3 and 4 on the opposite side to the mass flow are connected the water removal chambers 8 of the chamber units 6 and 7.
- To wire 3 is connected surface 9 of chamber unit 6, and to wire 4 is correspondingly connected surface 10 of chamber unit 7. Surfaces 9 and 10 are such that the water in the overpressured mass M permeates through them and passes on to the chambers 8, thus acting as filtrate surfaces.
- an essentially continuous and elongated side cover 12 or the like In conjunction with the side edges of the filtrate surfaces 9 and 10 located at a distance from each other is arranged an essentially continuous and elongated side cover 12 or the like.
- the edge bar 12 covers the opening remaining between the side edges of the surfaces 9 and 10 in such a way that it essentially prevents the pulp mass M from spreading outside the side edges of the surfaces 9 and 10.
- an edge sealing part 11 In addition to this, in connection with the side cover 12 is arranged an edge sealing part 11.
- its cross-section is such that it extends, in the lateral direction of the wires 3 and 4, essentially transversely to the direction of travel of the mass M, by a distance into the space 5 between the wires 3 and 4 and both the chambers and the permeable surfaces 9 and 10.
- the edge sealing part 11 may extend further between the wires 3 and 4 in a transverse direction with respect to the direction of travel of the mass M.
- the edge sealing part 11 may extend by a short distance only between the chambers 6 and 7, in a transverse direction with respect to the direction of travel of the mass M.
- In the edge sealing part 11 are formed elongated opposite sealing faces 11a and lib in the direction of travel of the mass M. They are in contact with the surfaces of the wires 3 and 4 approaching each other in a wedge-like manner, or in their immediate vicinity.
- the sealing faces 11a and lib together form a wedge-like shape complying with the space 5 in the longitudinal direction.
- the edge sealing part 11 is of such material that it withstands especially the mass M, but also the mechanical wear caused by the wires 3 and 4 and heat stress.
- the material is in addition preferably such against which the mass M, as well as the wires 3 and 4, slide as frictionlessly as possible.
- a material is, for example, hard plastic, fibre-reinforced plastic or a metal alloy.
- the surface lie of the other end of the edge sealing part 11 extending between the wires 3 and 4 is essentially smooth and formed in the transverse direction with respect to the plane formed by the sliding surfaces 11a and lib.
- the surface lie of the other end is such that the mass M compressing in the space 5 will slide against it with sufficiently low friction, so that no disadvantageous changes will take place in the mass M.
- the surface lie receives the pressure of the mass M compressing in the space and prevents the access of the mass M outside the edges of the web former 1, and more preferably outside the edges of the wires 3 and 4.
- the sliding surfaces 11a and lib in addition press the wires 3 and 4 against the filtrate surfaces 9 and 10, which for its part prevents the curling up of the wires 3 and 4.
- the chamber units 6 and 7 of the web former 1 move with respect to each other, that is, their wedge-like shape and distance from each other can be adjusted.
- the same web former 1 may be made different edge sealing parts 11 suitable for certain adjustments, the wedge- like shape between the sliding surfaces 11a and lib of which in the longitudinal direction of the web former 1, and extension in the lateral direction of the web former 1, are suitable for the various adjustments of the web former 1.
- Other appropriate structural changes may also be made in the edge sealing part 11.
- Figures 3B and 4 show a preferred embodiment of the invention.
- the same or corresponding parts are marked with the same reference numerals as in Figure 3A, and therefore, their description is omitted.
- the edge sealing part 11 In the edge sealing part 11 are formed channels 13, 14a, 14b, 14c, 15, for example, by drilling.
- the main channel 13 is here formed preferably inside the edge sealing part 11, in the centre in both the longitudinal direction and in elevation so that the inlet opening will open to the surface connected to the side cover 12, and that it will extend in its longitudinal direction by a distance between the chamber units 6 and 7.
- one main channel 13 also extends by a distance between the wires 3 and 4.
- two successive channel branches 14a and 14b In connection with the main channel 13 are formed two successive channel branches 14a and 14b, essentially in a transverse direction with respect to the main channel 13.
- a single channel branch 14a or 14b has two branches, the first of which opens into a groove 15 formed on the sliding surface 11a of the edge sealing part 11, in the immediate vicinity of the top wire 3, and the second branch opens into a groove 15 formed on the sliding surface lib of the edge sealing part 11, in the immediate vicinity of the bottom wire 4.
- a third separate channel branch 14c In connection with the main branch 13 is also formed a third separate channel branch 14c. Its first branch opens into a groove 15 formed on the sliding surface 11a of the edge sealing part 11, in the immediate vicinity of filtrate surface 9 of chamber unit 6, and the second branch opens into a groove 15 formed on the sliding surface lib of the edge sealing part
- Each channel branch thus opens into a groove 15 formed on the opposite sliding surfaces 11a, lib.
- the grooves 15 are continuous chute-like grooves formed in the longitudinal direction of the edge sealing part 11, the grooves forming sealing channels 16, while the filtrate surfaces 9 and 10 or wires 3 and 4 are in contact with the sliding surfaces 11a and lib.
- Injection water B is fed into the sealing channels 16 via the main channel 13 and the channel branches 14a, 14b and 14c.
- the injection water B can be fed further between the sliding surfaces 11a, lib and the wires 3, 4 (or filtrate surfaces 9, 10), in which case the injection water acts as a lubricant between the edges of the wires 3 and 4 (or filtrate surfaces 9 and 10) and the sliding surfaces 11a and lib of the edge sealing part 11.
- the sliding surfaces 11a, lib and the wires 3, 4 (or filtrate surfaces 9, 10) are not in contact with each other.
- the injection water B is preferably fed into the main channel 13 from a separate container 20 via a feed pipe 21 which is connected to a channel 13a formed in the side cover
- the injection water B is pressurised by means of a pump 19 connected to the pipe 21, and pressure and amount are adjusted by means of a control valve 18 connected to the pipe 21.
- the edge sealing part 11 When in contact with the pulp mass M, the edge sealing part 11 is subjected to temperature variations, contrary to, for example, the side cover 12 remaining outside the web former, to which cover the edge sealing part 11 is attached. This causes a different type of heat expansion of the edge sealing part 11 and of the side cover 12.
- the attachment between the edge sealing part 11 and the side cover 12 is a sliding one.
- the sliding attachment is illustrated in Figure 4. Attachment is arranged at two points 24, 24a. At the forward end of the side cover 12 is a fixed, for example, screw attachment 24 and at the tail end of the side cover 12 is another screw attachment 24a which allows the edge sealing part 11 and the side cover 12 to move with respect to each other.
- the sliding attachment may obviously also be arranged in a different manner, and the attachment of the edge sealing part 11 does not necessarily have to be formed on the side cover 12, but generally on an appropriate structural part of the web former 1.
